NAME

RPC::Simple::ObjectHandler - Perl class to handle a remote object

SYNOPSIS

  use RPC::Simple::ObjectHandler;

DESCRIPTION

This class is instanciated by RPS::Simple::Server each time a remote object is created. All is handled by the server, the user need not to worry about it.

new (server_ref, object_name, agent_id, argument_array_ref, req_id)

Creates a new object controller. Also creates a new object_name which is remotely controlled by the agent referenced by agent_id. If object name has no suffix, new will 'require' object_name.pm

The new method of the slave object will be passed the argument stored in argument_array_ref.

req_id is used for calling back the agent once the object is created (either with success ot not)

The connection server is passed with server_ref

METHODS

remoteCall( request_id | undef , method_name, arguments )

Will call the slave object with method method_name and the arguments.

If request_id is defined, it means that a call-back is expected. In this case, the argument passed should contains a sub reference.

close

Cancel all pending requests and delete itself.

delegate(method_name, ... )

Used to call the local object with passed method and arguments.

callbackDone($reqId,$result)

Called by the callHandler when a function performed by the remote object is over. $result being the result of this function.
